PanzerKaput's Star Wars Legion Journey

I love snowtroopers but painting white is a right pain in the b-hide. But that this is the cool thing about snowtroopers is that the uniform was not all white and has cream clothing and white armour which actually is nicer to paint.

Cold weather assault stormtroopers, commonly known as snowtroopers, were the elite stormtroopers of the Galactic Empire trained and equipped to operate in frigid environments.

Imperial cold weather assault stormtroopers were direct descendants of the Clone cold assault troopers and the 21st Nova Corps during the Clone Wars, who fought in frigid environments such as Orto Plutonia, Rhen Var, and Toola. Specialized types of snowtroopers included Snowtrooper Scouts, Heavy Snowtroopers, and Arctic Jumptroopers.

When the Empire routed the enemy Rebel Alliance from Echo Base on Hoth three years following the Battle of Yavin, the elite Blizzard Force, led by General Maximilian Veers, was involved in the battle.

Armor

Snowtrooper armor was well insulated to protect against extreme cold, with a suit and heated breather mask powered by a battery pack that could last up to two standard weeks. For greater survivability, it also included ice boots, an insulated belt kama, polarized snow goggles, grappling hooks, ion flares, and a homing beacon.

Weaponry

Snowtroopers were often equipped with E-11 blaster rifles and E-Web heavy repeating blaster cannons. Some could be trained to handle either flamethrowers or T-7 ion disruptor rifles.
